Simple one for you guys. I want to play Mara leveling through at 12xp. Is Jugg THAT much better at leveling? I won't be playing Immortal if I got Jugg though. Looking at DPS Jugg. Thanks.

Hey guys... I just came back to the game after a hiatus off (thanks school), so I missed out on the Gold Scalene armor when it was available on the Cartel Market. So, I go ahead and ask on general on the fleet, and a few people mentioned Red, and Blue, versions, and saw them on the site banner. Are these reputation items? Or they supposed to be on the CM, and I am missing them? Better yet, any word on Gold Scalene going back for sale? I absolutely LOVE the look of this armor, no matter the color, but don't have a toon geared, or leveled, to rep grind for it before the event will most likely be over. So, I am willing to use cartel coins to get any of the 3 variations for my new main Imperial Agent. Any word? Thanks in advance.

Emperor and Darth Vader... Sorcerer and Jugg

I would gladly pay 150-200 cartel coins in order for me to pick the model of the pistol I use in cinematic scenes. This, I feel, would make a huge difference in my immersion as I level. It could be something as simple as having a hidden weapon slot labeled "Cinematic", and only allowing pistols, and this becomes the model that appears only during cinematic sequences.

It works much like our channeled resting heal works. In the case where you don't have a jetpack, or boosters, attached to your chest piece, the jets fire from your boots (seen when hovering during the heal animation). But there are cases of certain chest pieces not working as intended.

This^ ... get over it.

My Rattataki agent is not like most of his race, in that he isn't naturally violent. He is proud to serve the Empire, and will do anything to keep it, and its people, safe. He despises the Republic and everything they stand for, but the only thing he hates more is when Sith get involved in Intelligence affairs. Though he does not have a problem with the Sith at all, as his brother is Sith, he finds it infuriating that they sometimes have the gall to undermine the most strategic and intelligent branch of the Empire. He believes strongly that his Keeper has the best interest of the Empire in mind, and if it can be helped pushes Sith priorities off to those of the people. He trained mainly in combat medicine (said he wasn't that violent), and finds his does his best work keeping the people out of harms way. With the control the Sith have shown over Intelligence of late, however, he is wondering if being an agent is the best way for him to help the Empire.

There is so much whining about 1.2 healing nerfs to Mercs, that I am actually starting to believe the "Reroll Now!" chanters. I finally got my first 50, and I said along the way I was going to make a Merc heals strictly for PvP... I usually ignore forum chatter because people blow things completely out of proportion, but it seems like between the patch notes, and the excessive crying, I am actually being convinced by the whiners. Should I go ahead and still do it? Am I digging myself a hole, I rather not use a lightstick character, and I already have an Operative (but don't enjoy him much anymore).

For some reason, I already hear prepubescent teen somewhere yelling, "No scoped, *****!"

It seems like this is the case with most tank companions unfortunately. I put a thread up earlier about Kaliyo becoming squishy in the 30s, and after I did reading into it, it seems myself (and you) aren't the only one experiencing it. I am doing what I can, as she is wearing orange mod gear, and I am making cybertech armor/mods to keep it up-to-date, and it doesn't seem to be enough.

I keep hearing about how everyone seems to think the IA storyline is amazing, and through Act 1, it certainly was awesome... especially as a LS agent who dislikes Sith, and talks down to them at all times. Anyways, I am now starting up Act 2, lvl 33, and it seems like this act is starting very slow... I am 2 missions into Taris, and I hope it is just a matter of letting the story build. Also, as a concealment Operative, I seem to be having trouble now because Kaliyo is becoming rapidly squishy as I level. Does this get better? Will hidden strike make a big difference in getting the initial jump on Elites? Right now, the story is slow, and my leveling is getting rough (Kaliyo will die on a solo Elite, leaving me to tank the last 20% or so). Please tell me it gets better soon?

Because I always thought Moe from Nickelodeon Guts was smokin as a kid... And she voices my beautiful Elara And I prefer tactical looking armor to the BH's scrap/jungle/barbarian look

Honestly don't see what the grind is... I am now level 26 on my scoundrel, who is a Cybertech, Scavenger, Slicer... and by the time I needed to buy speeder training at 25, I had close to 140k credits. Doing all the missions on each planet, and doing plenty of space battle dailies makes VERY good credits, mixed with slicing of course. I have sold 2 total items on the AH for less than 1k each, and I upgrade my own OJ armor with cybertech or commend. mod purchases. I also periodically buy blue/purp UW metals to craft items. This game isn't hard to make credits in.. but speed leveling doesn't make it easy... It is your money, and you can play the way you would like, but the slow-steady pace while leveling certainly yields plenty more credits.

Did you even bother to read what I posted? I said we could "of course" use tweaks, but there are those who are doing exceptionally well at the class. My point of you being a pathetic whiner on a forum, with nothing better to contribute, still stands. I cannot go into one thread about Marauder performance without you doing, what I can only imagine as, gritting your teeth and mashing the keyboard. Every game has guys like you on the forums... can't cut it playing in game, so you whine on the forums til they fit your class to your play style. Good day, sir.

Honestly dude, do you have better places to be. Every possible chance a "Marauders are UP" topic comes up... you are there, like a pesky gnat. Give it a rest. I have seen some Marauders roll through mobs, and players, alike. Sounds like your problem with the class is in how you play it, not so much the class itself. Could they use a tweak here and there to provide a bit of utility and survivability? of course. But find a new hobby... I heard stamps are pretty popular.

"Generalization-thread". General Forums... thank you for a terrible post.

Thank you again everyone! Looking forward to getting to 20 now!

Ah! Gotcha! Thank you! It shows it will only proc for DoTs and Incapacitated targets... so the debuff from Grav round counts as well?

Hey everyone, I am looking through the gunnery spec tree and see a few things I should keep in mind as I level as Gunnery... 1) Armor-piercing Cell is your go-to cell type 2) High Impact Bolt is your big single-target "whamo" ability and is highly talented for oomph 3) Full-auto, Charged Bolts, Grav Round, and Hail of Bolts are where your talents fall to My question is regarding High Impact Bolt... I love this ability, and it is very good when it procs up. Which at the moment, being 13, is really only if plasma cell procs, or I cryo'd, or its a crappy minion incap'd. If I am supposed to be using HIB, and Armor-piercing, on strong and higher targets, where does the DoT I need on the enemy to use it come from? I have Cryo to proc it, but that doesn't affect all mobs it seems (especially silver elites). Is there an ability I have coming up at some point that changes this? With Armor-piercing cell up, it seems like on single target strong+ mobs, Cryo will be the only time to proc its use. Thanks ahead of time.

Just a quick positive comment, and then I will be on my way... Fighting on planets like Coruscant and Nar Shadaa have been amazing, especially as my smuggler! Something about a firefight within the city limits and not out in the wild, is just awesome. Feels like you are playing out an action scene in a movie where a deal has gone wrong. It is a nice change from the norm, and look forward to doing these planets on my alts. That's all.

How about reading his post before you get all self-righteous. He simply stated he missed the tab allowing specialization training. It wasn't a question, it was a statement. It is called conversation, and one that is perfectly acceptable on this forum. Get over yourself. And in response to the OP. Yeah, I did this on my first character until I hit 14... Powertech got much better after that

Hey everyone, Just curious, it seems like there is only one possible female companion for a male Smuggler, and this seems to be Risha, from what I have found. Now, I can work with the fact there really is only one... but, from the one screenshot I found of her online, she is awkward looking, and can't seem to find ANY information on how her romance story is. I am a completionist, and liked how BioWare had romances play out and feel. Am I kinda stuck here? I preferred Smuggler to Trooper slightly, but this may possibly be a deciding factor if a major story is gonna be lacking for Smugglers. Seems Trooper has a legitimate female love interest for male troopers.

Thank you for all the responses, trying to get him up... but he has the day off from work, so still sleeping. If the play button lights up, it might mean you can see if you get access on the website, before the actual email gets to you. Worst that happens, I will be home for lunch break in 2 1/2 hours.

It shows a 12/13 ready to play under my account, would that be it? Because I havent received an email yet...

This is not a rant about not getting in yet! But, how will we know when we get access? I am currently at work, so I cannot constantly open the loader and see if I can hit the play button. But, I have my gamer father at home, waiting so he can at least reserve 2 names for me once I do... Am I waiting for an email? checking something on the website? to find out if I am in yet? And why does my account show greyed out product registration, even though the pre-order shows as inputted 7/21 on my account? Isnt that when we get the actual game to input?
